Mini Workbench with a Moxon Vise made with hand tools (mainly)

In this video I am making a mini workbench that I had planed for over an year now. The initial plan to make it quite simple but during the build of the mini workbench I change a lot of things. The biggest change was that I decided to attach the top to the legs with with half blind half lap dovetails, and those were the very first dovetails I ever cut.
The second change was in the design of the legs to make them look better and finally lastly I decided to change the width of the top by adding two boards (1 3/4" x 1 1/16" // 44x27mm ).
I really liked the way the mini workbench came out and hope you like it to!

So refreshing to see someone make one of these with minimal hand tools, in a minimal space. Sick of seeing people make this sort of stuff using their all powered automated home woodworking factories with 20 machines lol, like they need a mini workbench!

Lesson: If you're waiting till you can afford "the best tools" to get into woodworking, you're doing it wrong. You are an inspiration, Nikos. Subscribed.

This is inspiring ! I love it not because a fancy workbench build with modern equipment, but the commitment and creativeness to overcome the odd and make a splendid workbench. Well done, i gonna make my own workbench like this as soon as i get wood to work with

Glad im not the only one who uses a hacksaw! bought giant blades in the end and just made a frame saw for them, works MUCH better than a dovetail saw, just ask Paul Sellers =)

@AndreiIR000 2 жыл бұрын

I think I've seen Paul Sellers (the legendary woodworker) use one at some time. It's nothing, absolutely nothing wrong in using it for, even dovetails.

Εύγε για την προσπάθεια αλλά και για το αποτέλεσμα , μιας και ορισμένες τεχνικές τις χρησιμοποίησες για πρώτη φορά .Αλλά το μεράκι και την ευφευρετικότητα σίγουρα την διαθέτεις Λίγα εργαλειάκια χρειάζεσαι και η δουλειά σου θ ' αλλάξει λέβελ. Τόσο που δεν θα το πιστεύεις ούτε ο ίδιος Στο "pourman's routing" έκλαψα . Μου θυμίζεις πολλά απ' τα αυτοσχέδια που κάνουμε εμείς οι άφραγκοι ερασιτέχνες . Keep up the good work !

Ευχαριστώ πολύ. Δε διαθέτω αρκετό χώρο, αν είχα το χώρο θα είχα κ περισσότερα εργαλεία.

The holes through the round handles are unnecessary and they make it weaker I believe. That's kind of a metal thing to strengthen metal and reduce heat but that doesn't work with wood the same.

@NikosDIY Жыл бұрын

Inever put to much thought into them, I just liked the handle design that Neil Paskin had in his Moxon Vise (& his mini workbench of course).
